Your room will be checked and digital photos taken for documentation during Spring Break for readiness. If it is determined that your room is NOT ready for a new roommate,
you WILL be charged the higher rate, and could face disciplinary action.

Digital photos will be taken to document the readiness status of these rooms.

If you want to request a single or limited occupancy room for spring term, (Single/limited occupancy rooms are available based upon availability and billed at a higher rate.) you must make that request IN WRITING to the Housing Office by 4:30 pm, Thursday, March 19th.
